A DUI Manslaughter Conviction Will Change Your Life

Your life can change in the blink of an eye. If you accidentally kill someone while driving under the influence, it is critical that you speak with a skilled defense attorney right away. Because these events are traumatic, there can be temptation to talk to the police and explain how it happened. Do not make any statements to anyone! After getting any medical attention that you may need, make sure your rights are protected and contact the Law Office of Lance T. Marshall.

I have more than 25 years of experience in criminal law. As a former prosecutor, I understand how cases are put together and how to leverage that knowledge to fight the charges against his clients.

My law office provides complimentary initial consultations. To schedule a confidential appointment to discuss your DUI manslaughter defense, contact my law firm at 814-308-0422. My State College law office is conveniently located on East Beaver Avenue, a few short blocks from Pennsylvania State University.

A Strong Defense Is Crucial When Your Freedom Is On The Line

In Pennsylvania, DUI vehicular manslaughter is also referred to as homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence. Because it is a second-degree felony, the penalties if convicted are severe, including a mandatory minimum of three years in jail. A judge has discretion when sentencing. If you have had repeated DUI charges or you are on probation or parole, you could be sentenced to as much as 10 years.

Preserving your freedom and protecting your future requires an aggressive DUI defense strategy. We will analyze the evidence against you and the circumstances surrounding your arrest to identify any inconsistencies or mistakes, including:

  • Improper stop, search or arrest
  • Improper administration of field sobriety tests
  • Unreliable test results
  • Failure to administer Miranda warnings or respect right to have a lawyer present

My strength is my understanding of the intricacies of these cases. I will advise you of the best course of action for an effective defense that will provide you with the most favorable outcome.
